Microsoft said that a small percentage of the company’s computers got infected with the same malware that was used to attack Apple and Facebook.
The company’s General Manager Matt Thomlinson, says that none of its consumers’ computers were affected by the malware invasion.
The hacking attacks made on Apple, Twitter and Facebook were accomplished by Eastern European hacking groups that seek out company secrets, according to Bloomberg.
Microsoft said it is still investigating the attacks.
